VPD investigating second homicide in as many nights

A 20-year-old Vancouver man is dead in the city’s second homicide in as many nights.

It happened on Seaforth Drive near Rupert Street just after 9 o’clock last night.

Constable Brian Montague says the victim is known to police given his criminal record…

“Police attended and located a 20-year-old man laying at the side of the road suffering gunshot wounds. Paramedics arrived and declared the man dead at the scene. I can tell you he is someone we are familiar with. He’s actually currently on bail for a charge of mansluaghter, which is one of the reasons we believe the shooting was targeted.”

Montague says no arrests have been made and the investigation is still ongoing.
